Bible Reading Plans that Fit Your Busy Life

Expectation of the Tangible

July 27, 2011

Dear Lord,

To the God of Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob we lift up our hands today. We love you Lord! We praise you and thank you for your amazing love.

God, I really don’t know what the eyes reading these words need, but I do know that every one of us need You. We need Your presence; we need to see Your hand; we need to feel Your love. For those who are lonely please bring a friend. For those who are sick, give them grace to reach out and touch the edge of Your wings. There is healing in Your wings. Open our ears to the song that You sing over us in the middle of the night. May we know the melody and recognize the familiarity of its rhythm.

Holy Spirit fill us to overflowing today. May living waters flow from our lips. Set our eyes on things unseen no longer persuaded by the present.

Jesus, remind us of our need for You and the miracle of our salvation. And when nothing else seems to be going our way, remind us of Your sacrifice for each one of us.

I close this prayer with expectation of nothing less than Your tangible answers to these requests. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Amen.

Be blessed my friends. You have been chosen. You are His delight.

Much love,

andy

The Lord your God is with you; He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)

ps. I found this prayer in my archives. Something in me thought it needed to be prayed again.

Kind words. I humbly say, thank you.

I have been following you since the night you came and spoke at Brandon Christian Writers. We talked about growing up as a military brats, the similar places we had lived, etc. I don’t comment often, but I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your writing and being with you on our faith journeys.

So often, I feel like you write just what God wants me to hear or study and pray about. I want to confirm for you that your writing does make a difference. Thanks!

Andy is not just a skilled writer but a woman after God’s heart and that’s what makes both her writing and speaking effective and powerful!"
